# Toggle Dark Mode

A Mac OS command that uses AppleScript

![Run Toggle Dark Mode in Command Bar](https://2278499523-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MbsXkso5TLXDAfcG2Q2%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ff05f263f39732e17edac9a8370bad9fd0a6fe92%2Ftoggle-dark-mode%20\(1\)%20\(2\)%20\(2\)%20\(2\)%20\(2\)%20\(2\).gif?alt=media)

This is an example that will only work on macOS because it uses AppleScript. It's an example of a command that doesn't return a response: it just does its thing and exits.

When the command is run, it will toggle the dark mode system preference setting.

Paste the following code in a new file with a `.applescript` extension and then [create a Local Command](/command-bar-101/local-commands.md#create-local-command) to try it out in Slapdash.

```javascript
tell application "System Events"
  tell appearance preferences
    set dark mode to not dark mode
  end tell
end tell
```
